Dallas Mavericks Rumors: Wizards Were Close to Accepting Trade for Kyle Kuzma

The Dallas Mavericks reportedly came close to acquiring Kyle Kuzma from the Washington Wizards in a recent trade.
According to sources, the Wizards were hesitant to part with Kuzma unless they received a "home-run" offer. The Mavericks reportedly offered a package that included Dorian Finney-Smith, Davis Bertans, and a first-round pick, but the Wizards ultimately decided to hold onto their young forward.
Kuzma has been a key contributor for the Wizards this season, averaging 20.6 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game. He is a versatile forward who can play multiple positions and is a valuable asset to any team.
The Mavericks have been looking to add a wing player to their roster, and Kuzma would have been a good fit. However, the Wizards' high asking price proved to be too much for the Mavericks to overcome.
Despite the failed trade talks, the Mavericks are still in the market for a wing player. They have been linked to several other players, including Bojan Bogdanovic and Eric Gordon. It remains to be seen if the Mavericks can find a trade that works for them before the February 9 trade deadline.
